Feeling festive!

I decided this year to make myself and T a stocking each for Christmas and I managed to get some lovely material from the knit and stitch show that wasn't too tacky but still festive.  I then started researching how to make one on the tinternet as I wanted them to be lined to so that they would stand up to being used!
There were lots of different ones but I found this one the easiest to understand;
Crafty Staci

I decided to use this but did not put the furry collar on instead I put a snowflake material.I also added a layer of wadding in the front section so that they are a bit more substantial!

This one is mine with snowmen on and a green lining.

This one is for T and has Father Christmas on with a red lining.

I know they are not the perfect stocking shape but I am quite proud of them! And can't wait for them to be filled, hope I have been a good enough girl!


Happy Christmas!

Knit and Stitch!

On Sunday I went to the knit and stitch show at Harrogate Conference Centre and it was brilliant!
I have never been to one before and there were so many stalls! I went with Mrs H and we both cam eback ladden down with goodies!

So what did I get...............well I can't put any pictures on yet because some may become Christmas presents-if I get time to finish them all! But I will keep updating on here.

One thing I am going to make is a Christmas stocking for myself and one for T! Yes we are both 28 but hey I am starting to get excited about Christmas and found the most gorgeous material at the show to make these with-not too chintzy but Christmassy enough!

Anyway thank you Mrs H for a lovely day and I can't wait to see all our creations! Same time next year???
